Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to cryptocurrency in general, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to buy and store it.
I’ve heard a lot about Bitcoin, but I’m a bit confused about how to get started. What’s the safest way to purchase Bitcoin?
Are there specific wallets I should be using? Should I keep my Bitcoin in an exchange wallet, or is it better to use something like a hardware wallet?
Storing your coins requires you get a good wallet and keeping your keys safe and secured. This is one of the most important things that many newbies continues to fail at. There are many kinds of wallet, but you would need to find that which suits your need. Avoid any centralized form of storing coins as they literally aren't your keys.
To purchasing bitcoin you can get that through a decentralised platform to protect your privacy and if you aren't the type that cares much about your privacy, you can use the P2P service on Cex to get your coins from a trusted vendor...
